During my stay in Singapore I stayed with Jane, Darren and Bronwyn who are now
living there. During the week days I went wandering round Singapore especially
going to the parts that I remembered from the 60’s when I used sail into the
port here. I can honestly say that nothing is the same as it was then, every
thing was different especially with the new buildings to be seen. Not much of
the city was recognisable, the street names being most of what I recognised.
When the family was not working we went to The Night Safari at the Zoo, Sunday
brunches at hotels, Chinatown and the Chinatown Heritage Museum, a ‘Duck’ ride
round Marina Bay, to the top of the Marina Bay Sky Park, the Art and Science
Museum which had separate displays of the Fujian's and the Art of the Brick
(this was the lego brick and not the house brick as I expected), Sentosa Resort
and Spa and many hawker centres to eat various meals.

Yes Singapore was an amazing place to visit, an incredible skyline
ReplyDeleteBut its like every place visited, its always changing, sometimes I ask is it a good thing ?
I guess what I think doesnt really matter
It has some truly incredible buildings
I wonder if anyone has done a base jump from the Sky Park ?
That would be an incredible expirience
Things looked good for the New Year preparations, and when did these people need a excuse to celebrate, even the one in London was good this year, the dragon was excellent, gaudier than other years

ReplyDeleteIt must have been a peculiar experience to travel to a country you used to sail to in the 60s! Just like every other place, Singapore sure has changed a lot. I must say though, Singapore skyline is iconic and the Art of the Brick museum is quite a unique tourist attraction!
